One of the Oil Kings.

Henry M. Flagler of the Standard Oil
Company has rolled up his millions to such
an extent that he has built a two-million-dol-
lar hotel at st. Augustine, Fla, and has just
returned from trip of inspection. He is a
sharp-eyed man, and improved every oppor-
tunity when stops were made to observe the
country and its inhabitants. A passenger
on the same train told me that at one place
a tattered negro boy entered the car and
exclaimed I'VE got tame rabbit to sell
for a quarter" Flagler replied, in his
humorous way, Boy, what makes you
dress up in your Sunday clothes on week
days." The darkey promptly retorted,
" Boss, you ought not to make fun of poor
the lesson, and said, i" Boy, you are right
here's a quarter, and you may keep the
rabbit" Flagler's new hotel will cover
four acres or more, and one of its features
will be an annex constructed specially for
artists studios, in which he expects to
colonize the numerous artists who make
professional visits to the South. The en-
tire series of his hotel buildings will cover
six acres, and the establishment will bear
the name of Ponce de Leon. This shows
what oil can do. Only few years ago
Flagler was a poor man, and now he can
put two millions into hotel and not feel it,
Flagler had not forgotten his former habits
of hard labor, and when the recent fire at
st. Augustine took place he was out in his
shirt-sleeves, workingllike an old-fashioned
fireman, and in this manner made de-
cided sensation. He now says he is deter
mined to restore the old cathedral at his
own expense, and in that case it certainly
should bear the inscription: The tre-king
destroyed, but Flagler restored. "-Nelc YORK

A FOrethOught of Orn-Fields.

am more than ever in " love" with
the drill system of putting in corn and
caring for it. 1t has advantages aside
from ease of culture that command at
tention. BY planting our usual varie-
ties three feet apart in the drills and
one foot apart in the rows we make a
great gain in the amount of both stalks
and corn. Assuming that tifty-four
rows will be planted upon an acre and
four stalks in hill, we get 2,916 hills;
but by drilling three feet apart we get
seventy-two rows with PIG growing
stalks, or 15,5 52 plants-a gain of 6,SSS
stalks, an amount which means grow
ing corn at a profit, other things being
equal. In drills half of the marking is
saved, and if the soil was well prepared
and picked up free from trash the light
harrow can be used to great advantage
in cultivating the corn crop. 1t is much
easier to 60 over a corn-tield with a
light drag, with ten-foot sweep, making
the soil still finer and killing weeds by
the million, born and unborn, and then
when time to use the cultivator the soil
is like an ash-heap for mellowness, and
fast work is possible with very little
rolling clOds upon the corn. Perhaps
we need corn-cultivator which will do
good work the most of anything. We
have all sorts of cultivators that 90
down and dig and throw up the soil
and cut off corn-roots-but the close
working corn-cultivator that does not
go deep, but does do thorough work
and leaves the ground smooth behind
it, is rare tool. The big-shoveled
cultivators leave the soil in one or two
ridges; that dries out the soil unduly
fast, which is a serious matter in dry
weather. | have two-horse six
shovel cultivator, fine machine of its
kind, that does excellent ridge-work,
but as level-disturber was not equal
to the demands made upon it by later
ideas of fine but smoothly-left soil.
To remedy this part of the shovels
were removed and spring-harrow teeth
fastened in their places, and so set that
all traces of ridges were obliterated and
the ground left almost ideally fine and
smooth. AT the beginning we need
tools that will thoroughly prepare the
cortland, and then see that the soil is
put in No. condition. Then we may
plant nearer, cultivate closer and get
far better returns.-J. g., IN Tribune.

but thought / detected a condition on its

the conductor looked at it and felt its pulse
he said that he could do nothing for it. The

A SURPRISING discovery is that made
by" Uncle Ephraim," contributor to
the r. T., of another hitherto unsus-
pected line of oppression by "moneyed
corporations. 1t consists of the in
fluence brought to bear on humanity to
take their food with fork rather than
with knife, or possibly their fingers.
This is alarming. Where are the in
sidious encroachments of moneyed
monopolists to end if, for the sake of
increasing their unhallowed gains that
are wrung by their greed from the
scanty pittance of the poor, they compel
us to eat with forks rather than with
our knives? Another bit of Informal
ton is also given by " Uncle Ephraim,"
and that is that the fashion of eating
with fork " was introduced but a few
years ago by dude in one of the popu-
lar hotels in one Of our large cities"
And yet we learn from the same au-
thority that mouths consecrated to
,he spread of practical Christianity "
may eat with fork without detracting
from their salutary influence. After
this people may safely eat with their
forks if they prefer to do so, even
though the fashion be of late origin
and backed by the powerful influence
of sOulless monopolies.

A Chapter of History.

In the year 1910 Mr.. Van Buren,, a man of
extraordinary ability ana wisdom, succeeded
in obtaining from the democratic party a
nomination to second term as president;
and after that he was most disastrously
beaten in the voting. Since that election
now nearly half century ago, no president
has ever been able to gain nomination for
a second term, with the exception of Mr.
Lincoln and General Grant, both republic
cans. Mr.. Lincoln got his second nominal
ton in the very crisis of the civil war be-
cause the vast ma jOrity of his party were de-
termned that he should have it. Even that
determination would not have awaited to ac-
complish the purpose but for the circum-
stance that the war department was then
spending, in the prosecution of hostilities
and in the maintenance and reinforcement
of the armies, about two million dollars a
day, and the vast power of this incompar-
able machine was required and was worked
for all il was worth in securing the second
nomination. In General Grants case
nothing gave him the second term except
the fact that he was the great military hero
of the war, and that the people, especially
the republicans, believed in him as they
had never believed in any other man. But
when he struck for the third term even
Grant was foiled There are politicians who
evidently fancy that next year Mr.. Cleve-
land can easily procure nomination to
second term from adiSsatisfied party which
was badly broken up by his first nominal
ton and which is more antagonistic to his
ideas and methods now than it was then.
With nothing about him to excite enthus-
asm, without single brilliant fact in his
personal history and with none of that
magnetism which appeals to the magma
ton and the enthusiasm of the masses the
idea is that by the use of official patronage
and it is not to be denied that he is using it
with considerable cunning-he will be able
to do for himself what no one of his prede
cessors was able to do, with the exception
of such extraordinary persons as Grant and
Lincoln, under such extraordinary circum-
stances as existed in their cases. 1t may be
that we are now to witness a political
miracle of this sort; and certainly the as
severations of the favortes who have got
office and of the philosophers who believe
always in the tenant of power are loud and
vociferous enough to impose upon the credu-
lous But this is something that we have
witnessed in the third year of every presi-
dent who wanted "A second term, and yet
not one of them has got it.--Nelg York san

Agricultural.

WHERE is the rejoicing over the
interstate commerce law? There were
divers and sundry people who just sat
up on their hind legs and howled for
that law and the " short-haul" and gov
ornamental supervision of the railroads,
and who claimed credit for influencing
its passage. We supposed that when it
got in its work we should hear from
those parties, in jubilant utterance of
thanksgiving and praise, recounting its
great and numerous benefits. Possibly
a suggestion of a lesson might be
cleaned from the attempt of govern
ment to control finance by the passage
of the act forbidding the sale of gold
at premium, and its result; and posi-
bly, the idea may be suggested whether
the commerce, as well as the finance of
the whole world (of which the United
States is but part, may not be subject
to laws and conditions which statutory
law may not be able to entirely control.
We are waiting to hear of the first
party--eXcept the railroads and water
transportation mpanies-who has
been benefited by the interstate COM
merce law. Have the frogs changed

said in favor of this invaluable plant
But the same might be said by north
ern farmers of roots, for they are the
most valuable crop that can be grown.
They afford an excellent and prolific
feeding crop for the long winter sea-
son, which is invaluable for dairymen
or sheep or cattle-feeders; they occupy
the soil in rotation which is far more
useful and profitable to the farmer
and better for the land than the pres
ent shorter one, in which three grain
crops are taken for one green crop;
their culture greatly helps to fertilize
the land, for, being fed to cattle, much
more manure is made, and being well
MANFRED and paying well for the
manure and labor expended upon
them, they leave the land more fertile
than before and so aid in increasing
largely all other crops grown.-Cor.
Nelo York Times.
ALL this being true, farmer might
just as reasonably refuse or neglect to
grow clover because of the trouble of
it or because it was new thing to
him as to neglect or refuse to grow
beets and mangels for the same rea-
sons. The truth is, the general culture
of roots would work an equally favor
able change in American agriculture
for the better, as the culture of clover
did when it was first introduced.
Horticulture is really the way out of
our present distress. 1t will cheaper
every livestock product by providing
very large supply of most nutritious
and wholesome food at very small cost;
it will increase the supply of manure,
and therefore increase the yield of all
other crops; hence reduce their cost
and thus enlarge the profits of the
farmer. And if anything more than
another is needed to relieve farmers
from their present distress it is a larger
profit for their labor and investment.
1t follows, then, that we ought to grow
root crops to the extent of our abil-
ity.-NeW York Times.

Clover.

The extracts from our exchanges
given below will be read with interest
by many farmers:
ALFALFA or lucerne has always been
a favorite crop of mine, and / have
raised it in Massachusetts, with great
success. Professor Shelton of the
Kansas Agricultural College, in speak
ing of it, says that to raise it sue
cessfully the ground should receive
thorough preparation by blowing and
narrowing. Sow not less than twenty
pounds of seed per acre, and SOW this
about the middle of April. Harrow in
lightly, following with a roller, if
possible. Do not be discouraged if the
plants make feeble growth during the
first season, as they usually do. Alfalfa
should not be pastured or moved during
this first and critical season. The
mower should occasionally be run over
the ground high enough to miss the
alfalfa and cut off the tops of the weeds
After this season the alfalfa will take
care of itself and all the weeds within
its reach. / have moved it twice the
first season, and have rarely found it to
amount to much the second season;
but it seems in Kansas that the stand
will be continued for three or four
years. Yet there, as on the Atlantic
coast, alfalfa, like orchard-grass, never
self-seeds nor thickens or spreads in
the least beyond the ground originally
seeded. Alfalfa makes good pasture
for stock of all kinds, and is quite I'M
equaled among forage crops for "hog
pastures. Cor. CultiUdtOr.
In conversation with southern
farmer, recently, the writer was assured
that clover was the most valuable plant
ever introduced into agriculture in the
South. 1t furnished most valuable
feeding crop, either green or for hay;
it occupied the soil which would other
wise be idle and bare, and would be
washed by the heavy rains; it fortified
the land and so aided in doubling the
other crops grown. All this is most
true, but by no means all that may be
